Ashford Black Cap Toe Oxford - 722

The Ashford is a black cap-toe Oxford — and on the 722 last it reads sharper, leaner, more modern. Closed lacing, one clean seam across the toe, nothing in excess. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, a black box calf finished smooth for a hard shine. What sets this version apart is the 722 last: long, clean, finished with a slight chisel toe — the sleekest line in the range, contemporary without trying too hard. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted by hand. A full leather sole holds it at its most formal: slim, classic, made to be polished and resoled.

This is black tie with an edge. Put it under a dinner jacket and the chisel toe draws the eye down the line and finishes it with intent. The same correct black Oxford, a more assertive silhouette — for the man who wants the right shoe to also be the sharp one.

Black is correct. On the 722, it's also deliberate.
